Make Downloading Multiple Tiles Easier #165

Open stdavis opened 6 months ago

This was @jacobdadams attempt many years ago: https://github.com/agrc/quilter

Maybe there's a way to solve this pain point within the app itself in the upcoming rewrite.

Yeah, if we can generate a csv or other list of download links I think that would go far. There are download clients that can operate over a csv, and then once the user has got them extracted, Pro and other tools can handle mosaic datasets fairly well so we wouldn't necessarily need to do the merging process for them.

I like the idea of adding a single button that would generate a list of tile URLs to ingest into some 3rd party downloader app.

I absolutely agree.

I typically use a script to concatenate a text list composed of path/tile/extension from a selected set of a tile index then punch it through a wget loop. Fancy I know ;)

We can do like we do on the website and offer multiple ways to use the data and wget being one of them since it is a common/popular utility.
